Ontario

Fülszöveg

Though not the largest, Ontario is the richest and
most densely populated of Canada's provinces.
To the north lies a vast wilderness of lake-strewn
tundra and thick forest land; an area that
attracted the early fur trappers, prospectors,
miners, loggers and farmers. Together they
created new towns, mines, smelters and pulp
mills and their processed resources were sent
south to supply newly emerging industries.
In contrast to the north, south Ontario has
rolling countryside, apple orchards, dairy farms,
fields of com, vegetables, soy beans and tobacco.
Here too are the important towns and cities and
ninety percent of the population. There is the
bilingual city of Ottawa, one of the coldest
capitals anywhere in the world, with an annual
snowfall of some 85 inches and winter
temperatures reaching minus 20° F. These severe
conditions are, however, somewhat offset by
dozens of flower-filled parks in spring and
summer.

Toronto is a provincial capital and the financial
and commercial heart of Canada. Its modern
skyline of high-rise buildings house hundreds of
Canadian, foreign and multi-national
corporations.
The country's most popular tourist attraction
is also in Ontario—the awesome Niagara Falls—a
gateway to the United States and a major source
of electrical power for the province.
Niagara, together with many other aspects of
Ontario, have all been specially photographed,
in colour, for this well presented and evocative
book. Vissza
